Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 17,1906.

Application filed November 20, 1905. Serial No. 2881182.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN P. DURKIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia, and

State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Controller-Regulators, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improvement on the controller-regulating mechanism described in re the patent granted to me December 27, 1904,

and it is particularly desi ed to provide improved means for protecting the mechanism cm the weather, for reventing tampering or other interference tlIerewith, and for con- 5: necting the operating-handle.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of the invention with interior parts shown by dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view thereof, and Fig. 3 is a z 3 side elevation of the same with parts broken away. a

As shown in the drawings, the to 1 of the ,controller-casin has fixed thereon t e ring 2, provided with the circularly-disposed serra- '2 5 tions 3 and stops 4. v

has fixed thereon a hood 6, provided with a cylindrical dome 7, which completely covers t e shaft, and a bearing 8, which rides u on the'bearing 9 of the'ring 2 ,a flange 10 witIn'n the ring having therein a notch 11, which receives a lug 12, depending from the hood, to engage the flange and to hold the hood and rin together in revoluble relation and insep ara le, excepting when the lug re 'sters with the notch. Extendin above t e eneral level of the hood, beyon the periphera flange 13 thereof, is a housing 14, providing an an- 4 gular recessl5. A coupling 16 is ivotally connected to the hood, so as to pen ulate radially with reference thereto, by a pin 17, passing through the hous' and the coupling, and a dog 18 1s piv otally connected to the coupling, so as to pendnlate transversely to the movement thereof, by the pin 19, passing through the dog and the cou lings b1furcations20, the dog swinging ba'c ard freely and having its oscillatin 5o movement in the opposite direction limite by 0. lug 21, actin in a recess 22 and making contact with the ody of coupling. Ex-

the shoe 27 of the handle having the cylindrical socket 28 therein for receiving the dome 7. There is thus provided in combine tion with the controller a hood which com pletely covers the controller-shaft, the dog aving its articulated connection in the housing and the zigzag way with which the dog coacts.

.Having described my invention, I claim- 1. In a controller, in combination with the controller-shaft and means for regulating its movement, a hood for covering said regulating means,said hood beingfixed to and coverlng said shaft.

2. In a controller, in combination with the controller shaft, a hood fixed to and coverin said shaft, and a handle engaged to said hood and revolving said shaft therethrough.

3. In a controller, in combination with a controller-shaft, a hood fixed to said shaft,

and a handle engagedto said hood. The controller-shaft 5, revoluble in thetop of thecasing and extending above the ring,

4. In a controller, in combination with a controller-shaft, a hood fixed to said, shaft, said hood having a socket, and a handle with alugthereonenga gthe socketof said hood.

5. In a control er, in combination with a controller-shaft, a hood havin lugs thereon fixed to said shaft and a hand e -vvlth means thereon fitting between said lugs.

6.. In a controller, in combination with a controller-shaft and a handle, a hood having a circular dome thereon enga g said shaft. and a socket en agedby said audio.

7. In a controller, a stationary zigzag way,

a hood having a housing revolving over said way, a dog coactin with said way, and a connection for said og in said housing.

8. In a controller, in combination with the controller-shaft, a hood fixed .to said shaft and a housing thereon, a stationary zigzag way, and a dog connected to said housing by an articulation permitting it to pcndulate in; transverse'directions, said dog pendulating in said way to efiect a step-by-step forward movement and tiltin transversely to disengage said way in the ackward movement.

9. A controller havin alternating inclined ways and stops, a hood thereon, and a dog having a jointed connection with said hood permitting it to pendulate in transverse directions.

10. In a controller-regulator,in combina- 5 tion With the controller-shaft and easing, a bearing supported by said casing, and a hood connected to said shaft, said hood having a bearing which rides on the bearing supported by said casing. 1-0 11. In a controller-regulator, in combination with the controller-shaft and easing, a

l ring having a flange thereon su' ported by I said casing, and'a hood having a u'g thereon connected to said shaft, .-;aid lug engaging said flange.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand, this 17th day'o'f November, 1905, in the presence of the subscribing Witnesses.

JOHN P. DURKIN.
